Listen this week as we look back on some of our favorite clips for the year as well as being joined by Shirley, who gives us an update on the recent show from The George Michael Singers show in December and tour plans for the UK and beyond this spring.  It was an absolute honor to bring this show to everyone this year and we look forward to more episodes and stories to tell in 2025!

Happy New Year!

Listen this week as we catch up with Shirley Lewis and hear all about her show in December in London and some hints of plans for next year.   From there we get to hear from all of you and your special memories of George and the days of Christmas past as well as some memories of where we all were in 2016. 

 **  For some reason the sound changes on my microhone in the last section- but the words were heartfelt,  so I left it in! **

  It is the thoughts that count!

Have a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, or whatever you celebrate!

Listen this week as we are joined by Jen from Michigan, a faithful listener to the show with a very interesting theory!    Do the songs "Everything She Wants", "Credit Card Baby" and "Happy" all share a similar theme of women who are more interested in what a man can do for them financially than they are in the idea of love?   We debate these ideas and dive into all these songs with a new potential passion!
